    Homeless people?

    About 10% genuinely needy people and the rest will be rude, loud, brash skangers or alcoholics asking you for money. that'll go on drink. I really don't feel like being abused on Christmas and neither do you.

    I'd be up for doing something similar for mentally ill people or volunteering in a hospital, maybe. I'd like to help really needy people; not wasters.

    I've had a few invitations for Christmas... looking for something to do beyond the normal eat and watch TV thing.

    I'd like to go out, and do something. Staying in is easy.

    Not really into the idea of being harassed by skangers at Christmas... I get that most days of the year.

    Nice... so all homeless people are skangers, they are all on heroin and have aids, they are also all rapists, theives and murderers... I think we should lock them all up, better yet, lets just kill them all, yea? Next time you post something negative about the homeless remember the homeless man who saved that busdriver when his bus went into the liffey a few years ago. Real skanger for saving that mans life...

    I was going to recommend something, but I don't think you are worth it now...

    *EDIT*

    OP, stop plucking figures our of thin air. 10% are needy while the rest are wasters? Sure thing... you should work with these people before you pass judgement. You don't know anything in this area...

    Jesus,at first i felt sorry for you but you've got invitations. What more do you want? There is nowhere to go out on Xmas day unless you want to go begging with those homeless people skangers who genuinely don't have anyone to go to.

    Then why do you want people to suggest ideas for doing stuff? What's the problem like? Also you've had invitations but you don't want to spend the day in such a way so tis your own fault. Are you like this every other day of the year? Or are you just attempting to rebel?

    If you are near Dun Laoghaire... Alex's newsagents is always open on christmas day. I know he sold the business a while back, so not sure if the newbies share that opinion...

    Head down to Sandycove to watch brave ones jump into the sea. We generally drive past and see how they are doing every year :)

    Go for a swim on XMas morning at Dun Laoighre (Prob more places in Dublin doing it too). I'm doing it in Galway and it's gonna be savage craic, the place will be packed (Loads of people turn up for the event/support etc)

    You never know, you may spark up a convo with person/people in the same situation as you and end up having a party :D

    -Edit- Think it's been said, but why not go to a homeless shelter? Just ring them up and offer to volunteer serving food/whatever for the afternoon. You'll have a chat with less fortunate people, hear some stories etc... can't be a bad thing. May even open your mind a little, eventhough you're alone this XMas, you'll have so much more than the people around you

    You honestly think a skanger is going to jump into the sea on XMas day in only shorts in order to raise money for charity? LOL! Sure the skangers only have their showers swim during the summer :pac:

    I recommend buying yourself a box set of a certain tv series and spend your day watching that (ah heaven!:)). I also recommend buying yourself a chinese on xmas eve and heating it up on christmas day, get a few beers, some munchies and most importantly, some porn for bedtime.

    Wow that sound like the sexiest xmas ever! :eek: Dam my loving family and thier invites to dinner... wonder can i pull a sicky *shifty eyes*

    Not sure of anywhere that is open but what you could do to pass the time is head down to the animal shelter and pick up a free dog. As the old saying goes "a dogs just for christmas". It would be a bit of company for you at least.
    Failing that, i rekon you get a load of cans in and just veg out. TV is usually decent enough on xmas day and if you havnt already sampled the delights of online poker/gambling in general, i suggest you give that a try. Good luck!

    I am spending Christmas alone and I am trying to figure out what to do with myself. Last year, I spent the day inside watching TV... I can't do that this year as I've no cable. I guess I could watch crap online and download some stuff to watch but I'd rather get out and about.

    So...

    What's open on Christmas day? Internet cafes, pubs, restaurants, anything... what's open?

    ders a coffee shop open in temple bar, run by focus ireland,

    its christmas DAY !

    fcuk all will be open as its the last vestige of what life used to be like back in the eighties EVERY sunday.

    the only exceptions will be the shops run by the michael o leary clones who'll happily sell you batteries for 4 times the original price.
